A RIC 650 var, IMP C M AVR PROBVS P F AVG, Radiate, cuirassed bust left, holding spear and shield, Alfoldi Table XIII, Type 26, #143 and a RIC 713, PAX AVGVSTI, IMP PROBVS P F AVG, Radiate, cuirassed bust left, holding spear, Alfoldi Table XXII, Type 42, #54.</p><p><br /></p><p>So is the coin valuable? Probably not. It depends how much people wouldbe willing to part with for it. Despite the condition I don&#039;t think I overpayed back in 2006 when I paid $11 incl. shipping from the States to the UK. It was described as officina 4 by the seller.</p><p><br /></p><p>Keep your eyes open folks....</p><p><br /></p><p>Martin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
